- yawpitch 4y agoTo be accurate the video tap is the hardware assembly that allows video signal to be recorded at the same time as the film is being exposed — or very nearly the same time, since the film can’t be exposed while the video camera is receiving light — and video assist is the production technique of using that tapped video to aid production work (VFX, editorial, cinematography, playback, continuity, etc) while the exposed film awaits processing and scanning. In other words you needed a video tap to allow for video assist.
